Hey! This is my first story on this site. I wrote some for the WB a long time ago and this story came into my head and I really wanted to share it. It's a Naley story. However, it's slow on that end in the beginning. Just bear with me and watch the story unfold )

I do not own One Tree Hill or any of it's characters. The song is the beginning is "Tonight" by FM Static. Enjoy.

I remember the days we spent together
Were not enough
And I used to feel like dreamin'
Except we always woke up
Never thought not having you here now
Would hurt so much

Tonight I'm falling and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

Nathan threw the beer bottle against the wall. He couldn't take it anymore. He was so alone. He had never felt so alone in his entire life. The love of his life had left him ten years ago and he had a child that he would never know. He quietly cried to himself in his big empty house. He needed somebody in his life. He needed to know that for once everything would be okay. It was times like these that he wished he had Haley in his life again, but then again times like these were caused by Haley. He picked up the phone and called the only person in the world that he could still count on, his brother Lucas.

"Hey, little brother. What's up?" Lucas said into the phone.

"Luke, I'm a mess" Nathan whispered into the phone.

"Nathan, what's going on?"

"Today's the anniversary of the day I found out that I had a daughter. That was three years ago. I still don't know anything about her. I'm so alone Luke. I have nothing."

"You have me and Peyton"

"Yeah, but I lost my wife and my child. No offence, but only having two people in your life isn't exactly great."

"I hear you. Do you want me to come over or something?"

"No, I'm going to New York." Nathan knew that New York was the only way to get his life back in order, to get one of the things he had lost back.

"New York, why?" Sometimes Lucas had a hard time understanding the reason his brother did things. This was one thing he could not understand.

"There's this lawyer there. I guess he specializes in finding children that have been put up for adoption. As long as my daughter wasn't adopted yet I might be able to get her back." Nathan chocked out the words. He had a three year old daughter that he had always wanted in his life. However, the mother of the girl left him without a word.

"Nathan, are you sure you want to do that?" Lucas was concerned for his brother. He did not want him getting himself wrapped up in something that he couldn't handle.

"I can't take sitting in this house anymore. I already rented out a place up there. I'm going to do whatever it takes to get her." The voice of determination was evident in Nathan's words.

"What about your office Nathan? You can't just leave a bunch of sick kids to suffer."

Nathan had given up his dream of basketball right after Haley had left him to go on tour. He wanted something that could fill the void in his heart. He went to med-school and became a pediatrician. It was a job that nobody would expect Nathan Scott to have, but he was actually very good at it. He loved his job. Sure, he still loved basketball, but now he was Dr. Nathan Scott and he liked it that way.

"I already asked Kelly to fill in for me for about three weeks. I called all my patients personally and let them know. Luke, I have to worry about myself for once."

"Okay, if this is what you really want then I support you."

"Thanks I appreciate it."

"Do you want me to go with you?" Lucas wanted to be there for Nathan. Nathan needed him. He had been so broken for three years, and he finally had a chance to get his life back in order.

"No I need to do this alone. Thanks though."

"When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"I guess this is good-bye then."

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Good luck little brother. If you need anything at all, I'm a call away."

"Thanks, for everything. I'll keep you posted."

"Bye, I'll see you soon."

Nathan hung up the phone. He was so glad that he had Lucas in his life. He couldn't believe that he had once lived his life without him. Right now Lucas was the only thing that he really had. Everyone had just got up and left Tree Hill, except Lucas and Peyton.

Peyton stayed to run an art gallery in her own home. She was married to a very artsy man, and they were perfect for each other. Lucas had once thought Peyton was the only one for him, but then he met Riley. She was from Chicago and they met at a book signing in Tree Hill. They clicked instantly. Lucas was a coach for the Ravens and Riley was a writer for the local newspaper. Lucas, Peyton, and Nathan lived in Tree Hill as best friends.

Nathan looked down at his bags that were packed for New York. He sat on the floor and looked around his house. In the corner of his bedroom he saw a picture of him and Haley on their wedding day. He had kept it up, hoping that one day she would return. Even though Nathan told the rest of the world that he was fine and had moved on, he was still hung up on his first love. There was not a day that he did not wonder what Haley was doing with her life. He wondered if she was married, what kind of job she had, if she had little kids running around, or if she lived in a cozy house. However, the thing that Nathan wondered most about though was whether Haley ever thought about him.

A wave of anxiety hit Nathan. He was going to set out on a search to find his daughter. Three years ago he had a one night stand with a girl named Kali. Nathan was used to one night stands. After all, he was not willing to give his heart to anybody. So Nathan indulged himself with meaningless sex. He had never expected to see Kali again, however one month later that all changed. Nathan received a call that changed his life forever. Kali told him she was pregnant. Nathan said he wanted the baby. She said she didn't want anything to do with him and she was giving the baby up for adoption. Nathan said no he would take the baby no strings attached. However, Kali left town and never spoke to Nathan again. Nathan was devastated. Eight months later he came home to a voice mail that said that he was the father of a baby girl. That was it. Nothing else. Nathan longed to have his daughter in his life. Knowing that his own flesh and blood was living somewhere in the world broke his heart. He was going to change this though. He was going to find his daughter.
